Sivasangari, Malaysia's top women's squash player, secures a spot in the semifinals of the Cincinnati Gaynor Cup, while Eain Yow falls short in the semifinals of the Motor City Open in Detroit.
S. Sivasangari, Malaysia's top women's squash player, secured her place as the country's sole representative in the semifinals of the Cincinnati Gaynor Cup 2025 in Cincinnati, United States, yesterday. The world No. 10 player faced no significant challenges in advancing to the next round, overcoming Torrie Malik of England 11-6, 11-9, 11-7 in a 27-minute quarterfinal match.
Unfortunately, another Malaysian representative, Rachel Arnold, suffered a defeat against American home player Olivia Weaver, losing 5-11, 5-11, 3-11 in a 23-minute match. This loss sets up a highly anticipated semifinal clash between Weaver and Sivasangari today. While Sivasangari hails from Sungai Petani, Kedah, and faces a tough challenge, her reputation as a 'giant killer' suggests that an upset victory is not out of the realm of possibility. Sivasangari, currently participating in the Road To Gold program aimed at preparing athletes for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, carries the hopes of Malaysia on her shoulders. The 26-year-old aims to become the country's first-ever Olympic squash representative and is determined to prove her consistency and solidify her potential to win a gold medal for Malaysia. Meanwhile, Malaysia's top men's singles player, Ng Eain Yow, was eliminated in the semifinals of the Motor City Open at the Birmingham Athletic Club in Detroit, United States. Eain Yow, ranked No. 12 in the world, was unexpectedly defeated by Leonel Cardenas of Mexico, ranked No. 18 in the world, with a score of 7-11, 4-11, 4-11 in a 49-minute match. -UTUSA
